Last night a despicable coward blew himself up outside a stadium in the city of Manchester, UK. There were over fifty people, mostly children and young adults, the vast majority female, who died in the blast that was triggered as the people were exiting a pop concert by one of the most popular singers in Western culture, especially among young girls.
The choice of target was no accident. The evil mind chooses the most vulnerable and easiest to harm. It is far less dangerous to the attacker to attack young women and girls than it is to attack young men and boys. And our culture places a premium upon the security of our young women and girls. The target was chosen to horrify and cow us into submission to the fiends who are trying to destroy Western culture.
But they chose the wrong nation in which to stage such an attack. Historically, the British people have always rallied when attacked, no matter what their various ethnic origins. All they need is a leader around whom to rally, and I think they have one in the person of Prime Minister Theresa May. Her short speech to the public this morning was reminiscent of the greatest orators of her land, people like Sir Winston Churchill. And the British will not be cowed into submission to fear and terror.
Kudos to Ms May and to the people of Manchester who rallied to the aid of the victims, and to the victims themselves who didn’t give in to fear.
